酒鬼与圣徒：在神的土地上干杯（方寸系列）
(uk) Laurence Osborne
Drinking alcohol is a beloved custom but also a dangerous vice, even taboo in some religions and considered "a disease of the soul." During his extensive travels, Lawrence Osborne witnessed how drinking was viewed in cultural contexts around the world, which led him to wonder: Is drinking a sign of civilization and sanity? Or is it just the opposite? On the spectrum between indulgence and restraint, where does alcohol fall in different societies? This book is a travelogue on the theme of wine culture, which provides some exciting insights into the deep-rooted cultural conflict between East and West, as well as the surprising influence of drinking on the world today.
